Umnumzaan love. Strange......

There is another old pivot tanto. The one pictured is a dynamic tip tanto.. The one I am after is a standard exclusive from TNK.

Honestly, it's one I have had since they were first introduced..Loved when I first bought it and still do. It's been displaced out of my pocket many times over the past few years but come back to it a few times a year. If I was going to pick a feature or two that I really like, it would be the harpoon tip. It's fine enough for fairly intricate work while maintaining a fairly aggressive look. It's a fairly big knife that just about disappears in my pocket...The ceramic ball has been another favorite as well as the adjustable pivot. I know that some really detest these particular features, but I feel that they are an upgrade.
There is really not much I don't like about it..If I had one thing, it would be the reaction I get from other people when I take it out to use.
I have the original exclusive from TNK, there really isn't that much difference in the tip that I can see.

The difference that I can see is the length of the grind at the tip. The standard seems to be shallower and more of a flat grind, where the dynamic looks like it is convex.
Can you post a pic of yours?
 
The tip on mine is convex as well. I dont have it with me right now, but I'll post a pic when I get home.

Sorry but I have no info on it. I bought it on the Exchange last week and the seller didn't know who made it. I'd love some for my Sebenza 25 and 21s too.
